Brush fire by border 100 percent contained

OTAY MESA  A brush fire that began in Mexico on Wednesday afternoon scorched about 100 acres along the U.S-Mexican border east of Otay Mesa, a Cal Fire official said.

By Thursday it was 100 percent contained, Cal Fire Capt. Mike Mohler said. No structures were burned and no injuries were reported, Mohler said.

The blaze began in Otay Mesa about 4:10 p.m. near Alta Road and Tin Can Hill, Cal Fire spokeswoman Roxanne Provaznik said.

Crews were fighting the blaze from the ground and the air. No structures were threatened, Provaznik said.

The air support includes four air tankers and two helicopters.

Carlos Carreño, a spokesman with Tijuana Fire Department, said the blaze broke out around 3:30 p.m. in a brush-covered unpopulated eastern area of the city near the entrance to the Tijuana-Tecate toll road. Crews from two fire stations put out the fire in Mexico.
